One of the best war movies ever and very powerful and emotional show how hard it could be for some in the military, style movie is stolen by 2 individuals Vincent oenofrio and Ronald lee emry they take the spotlight for me

When this film was first released, I wasn’t interested in seeing it (though I did see Platoon). At that age in my life, 19-20, I wasn’t yet a SK fan like I am now. When I eventually saw it, I thought it was interesting, but it took me several viewings and a few courses at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh (RIP) to fully appreciate Kubrick’s messages and symbolism. This film probably has the most subtle and not so subtle messages and symbolism out of all of his movies. Every time I think of a certain scene , or watch the film again, and consider the details therein, I realize there’s another thing I missed. There is so much here to analyze. The Kubrick Site is the best resource or collection of resources and articles that I know of, that cover his movies. There is at least 1 article there about FMJ. But an entire book (300 pages, say) would be the bare minimum amount of space necessary to cover everything just in this movie. As far as its realism, I have spoken with at least 1 Vietnam veteran who said that this is the best movie about that war. The most realistic. There are several pop culture events or news items that are mentioned. Such as CBS News reporter Walter Cronkite stating that the war is not winnable. He really did say that, so I’m not spoiling anything for you. The one issue about this film, that SK definitely intended, is the racist jokes. And there are a lot. A LOT. Young people of today, who are more sensitive to such “humor”, are more likely to be offended. Although, in my case, even when I told them 40 years ago, I knew they were distasteful (I stopped telling them before I graduated from high school. No one is perfect). There are also a few lines of dialogue that reference other movies (Apocalypse Now, for one) which may or may not be intentional on SK’s part. The film is quite brutal, in several respects (violence, racist jokes, racism specifically concerning Asian people, sexist jokes and observations). This movie is definitely not for those with weak stomachs or who are easily offended. But none of SK’s films starting with Lolita are (other than 2001, and Dr. Strangelove, more or less). Highly recommended, if any of the 3 things I mentioned in the subject line are of interest to you.

Soy fan del director Stanley Kubrick y cuando supe que Warner Brothers había restaurado en formato 4K Ultra HD, el clásico de 1987 "Full Metal Jacket" ó "Cara de Guerra", la compré de inmediato. Se ve espectacular, mejor que nunca, con una calidad de imagen fuera de serie. Llegó rápido y en perfectas condiciones, y la encontré en oferta por el Prime Day 2024! El único inconveniente es que no trae el Slipcover de colección.

In 1962, Stanley Kubrick move to Hertfordshire, England to film Lolita. Stanley Kubrick was born in the Bronx, New York in the 1920s, but after filming The Killing, Kubrick spent a couple of years in Germany to film Paths of Glory where he met his final wife and then he spent a few months in Spain to film Spartacus. After filming Spartacus, the next project after that was Lolita. In 1969, Stanley Kubrick helped NASA film the moon landing. In since de-classified language, Richard Nixon referred to the moon landing with the code words, "The Bay Of Pigs". This is not secret information that I would be in danger for revealing; in fact on the contrary, all this information can be seen on a documentary on YouTube, just search 'Stanley Kubrick' and 'moon shot'. In order to make sure that Stanley Kubrick would not talk about this in the United States, Stanley Kubrick was on Richard Nixon's public enemies list of which Paul Newman too was also on. Stanley Kubrick stayed in England for the rest of his life to avoid the United States Secret Service agents that he feared would go after him regarding his involvement with and knowledge of the moon landing. All this leads to why Stanley Kubrick deliberately decided to make a movie about Vietnam in England, in what has to be the World's record for the farthest distance away from Vietnam that a Vietnam War movie was made. The movie was stubbornly in Howard Hughes style filmed entirely in England. Palm trees, and buildings and sets had to be created on an English studio parking lot. The effect, in the hands of the sheer bacchanalian Felliniesque master hands of Stanley Kubrick is statuesque in its sheer breathtaking brilliance. Characters and scenes seem to jump from the screen from the hellish brackish days of training in the barracks with the bellicose curmudgeon drill sergeant with his sadistic style of molding the soldiers into lethal killing machines. Days and nights humping it through basic training. The sheer disciplines; the rigours, the running, the relays, the sidestepping, the rope climbs, the drills. Graduation is an unforgettable event as the occasion cascades into a deadly conclusion which underscores the brutality and lethality of the bloody business that is War. After basic training the soldiers descend into a fiery Danteian pit of Southeast Asian combat hell. After landing in Khe Sanh, they are attacked during the Tet Offensive as it is supposed to have occured at this otherwise obscure and remote outpost and in this case the Americans held their own. After this, they are given orders to rendevous to Hue, pronounced Hway. The first casualty of war is the loss of innocence and this movie poignantly guides the viewer further into the psychological battleground of war as the soldiers painstakingly try to advance and cover ground against and unseen force lurking beyond. This movie like all Stanley Kubrick movies is great and not to be missed. If you are a fan of Stanley Kubrick, why not get this video?
